Heading to Vermont

It was time to head up to Vermont again. This time, no little kids are going to be on the trip so i was pretty excited for that. Also, there gets to be massive amounts of booze to be consumed on the bus. My kind of bus ride. Last year on my trip to Stowe, manthan and i weren't sure what to bring to drink. Beer was boring so we wanted to do something different. We ended up buying some orange juice and coconut rum. We might of had some vodka but what we shouldn't have brought along was Ice 101. Sure its fun and games taking shots of it at first, but its tastes like a vat of peppermints have been melted down and mixed with vodka...so you end up getting sick before getting buzzed.

We decided to maybe we should get beer, because its safe...but again we some how talked ourselves out of it and decided to make a Tucker Death Mix. It consists of Gatorade, Red Bull, and Everclear (190 Proof)...last time i did one i thought i was going to die. But it seemed to be a good idea for the trip because i could just store it in my Camlebak and not worrying about spilling it, plus i had manthan to drink some too so i wouldn't have to worry about dying again.
Wasn't really sure how much to add together. So i got about 52 oz of Gatorade (lemon-lime), two twelve oz. cans of red bull, and about 12 oz of everclear. This recipe i found said use the whole 5th of everclear, but i actually like my liver so i stuck with 12 ounces. i was expecting something delicious, but no...tasted awful. i forgot i don't really like red bull and when mixed with Gatorade it just tastes nasty. So there was only one thing to do, drink it until it tastes good. Again, my plan failed because i failed to get drunk. Oh well, at least i got some carbs in my system to burn for snowboarding.

The bus ride was a little bit more fun this year, rather than manthan and i being the only people under 28...there were some more people our age. So there was lots of singing and ridiculous games that were played, and the people in the front of the bus (the old people) hated us.

What was not cool on the trip was the music that was played. Because the person that organized the trip is 51, and a 70's music fan....thats the music we listened to for a good 2 hours...and no one changed the first CD so it played over and over. i thought i was going to go crazy, like start punching babies crazy.

Manthan and i were sitting in the second to last row of the bus, we thought we would be far enough from the old people and not have to witness anything weird or too crazy old people might do. But no, not the case...we had this couple sitting in front of us (well they were married to other people, but both are separated...) and they're like over 50 years old...but it was like they were both 16 years old kissing for the first time. Groping each other and sucking face the whole trip up to the lodge. i wanted to vomit.

We finally stopped to eat, at a McDonald's. i have the worst experiences at McDonald's. For some reason whenever i order food there it takes so long to get it, or there is some crazy mix up with my order. Like people that order their food 10 minutes after me get their meal first. Its like every McDonald's employee gets a pamphlet with my picture in it during orientation and it says to screw me if i'm ever at that particular McDonald's getting food. i got a Big Mac, this time was no exception...
That's how my big mac looked when i opened it up...i have no idea what kind of thought process you have to have to assemble a burger like that. Plus there was a piece missing from the bun, like some one took a bite out of it...but i soon found the piece of bun, it just broke off and wasn't to consumed. i hope. i'm not one to complain about food unless its extremely messed up, so i fixed the big mac...and ate it. i guess most people would have taken it back, but i've made sandwich of cookies, spaghetti, and marinara sauce so eating this messed up big mac wasn't really an issue. i was just really confused when i opened it up.

We got to our lodge around 11:10 pm, i was so happy i didn't have to witness those two sucking face anymore. But of course the guy had to get another uncalled for comment, and while waiting to get my key to the room...he said to the woman, "i can't wait to have sex with you.." for everyone to hear in the lobby. i was so happy my room wasn't even remotely close to theirs.

Go to the room and passed out, so we'd be able to get up at 7am the next day...managed to get a picture of manthan going to sleep. Might be considered a little creepy...oh well.
